The Emperor Flaunts His New Clothes
The All-Star Game has been moved from Atlanta to Denver in protest of Georgia's new voting laws, yet Colorado has similar stringent voting rules.
Georgia Governor Brian Kemp was also scratching his head on this...
"Georgia has 17 days of in-person early voting including two optional Sundays, Colorado has 15... So what I'm being told, they also have a photo ID requirement. So it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me."
Sexton raises a good point (good points not really being appropriate for modern thinking.) "The hypocrisy is pretty thick on this one... If ...[ MLB Commissioner Robert]...Manfred believes relocating the All-Star Game demonstrates MLB's "opposition to U.S. voter restrictions," why just pull one baseball game from Georgia? What about the Atlanta Falcons seasons or all the Braves games?"
Reality abuts against consistency and purity. We can only watch to see what a subculture that ignores diminishing returns will do here.
